Bedroom Painting Ideas
When you start your day, the first thing you see is your
bedroom. And, when you end your day, the last thing you
see before you go to bed is also your bedroom. This is why
it is important that you should properly decorate your
bedroom in order to induce sleep during bed time and you
should also have a bedroom that will provide you with a
relaxing atmosphere that can encourage you to get up and
face another great day.

As you can see, the bedroom is considered to be one of the
most important parts of the house. It is a place for your
own and it is considered to be your sanctuary. The bedroom
is your private and personal retreat. Inside your bedroom,
you can have a world for yourself and shut off the world
outside and do whatever you want and be yourself.

It is important that the bedroom should provide you with
the right atmosphere that can enhance your mood. It should
be able to tell you to take it easy, wind down and relax.
So, in order to have a great bedroom that will provide you
with a relaxing atmosphere, you should first start by
coloring it right.

Most people think that providing an extra soft bed and
extra decorations is enough to give a relaxing atmosphere.
Although this can prove to be true, you have to consider
that the color tones of your wall are one of the most
important factors in providing you with a warm and
relaxing bedroom.

Before you start painting your bedroom with your favorite
color, you first need to know that there rules in painting
your bedroom. Since this is your private retreat and is a
part of the house that is least visited by other people,
you can experiment and be creative about the decoration as
well as the wall color. However, you should also follow
the three basic rules in choosing the color for your room.

The first rule is the color family rule. For example, if
you want to paint your room with the color blue, you
should consider having a decoration inside your bedroom
that will also have the shade of blue. This is called
monochromatic schemes that is simple to do and very
popular for most people. So, if you like a particular
color for your bedroom wall, you should also get a shade
of that color in as your lampshade color, your bed sheet
color and also your picture frame color.

The second rule is the next door neighbor color rule. If
you are familiar with the color wheel, you will have an
idea on what kinds of color you should put in your
bedroom. For example, if you like red, then the colors
next to it in the color wheel will prove to be great
combinations. If you choose red then you should also use
the colors orange and violet. If you choose blue, then the
colors green and violet can prove to be a great
combination and so on. This color scheme is called the
analogous color scheme.

The third rule is the Ying and Yang rule. Chinese beliefs
suggest that you should have adequate Yin and Yang in your
house. This means that there should be opposites of
everything and this will include the colors. And, this
proves to be true. It can create a harmonious environment
that you will truly love. Most people love the basic black
and white combination. You can experiment with different
dark and light shades of colors and determine which can
provide you with a great looking bedroom.

These are the three basic rules in providing a comfortable
and relaxing environment in your bedroom. Be creative and
you will definitely have different ideas on what colors
you should paint your bedroom with.

Painting tips & tricks of
the day

Paint without removing fixtures
To avoid having to remove fixtures before painting,
particularly when the pieces are difficult to get off,
nothing works like Vaseline petroleum jelly. Just spread it
on the surfaces to be protected before starting to paint and
when finished, clean the fixtures with a paper towel or a
soft cloth.
